European Policy Management
As the Prodi Commission comes to the end of its term of office, the Kinnock reforms of internal management systems are now well under way. While these are welcome, they are only a preliminary step in a much broader and more difficult process of change. As the EU institutions have to work with and through the administrations of the member states, it is essential to develop the management of organizational networks. These networks are a negotiated …

For the first time in its history the European Commission is undergoing a major reform.

The main change in British government in the 1980s was that there was no change of government or, more importantly, of prime minis ter. Improving public management was an integral part of Margaret Thatcher's brand of conviction politics. Political continuity provided the conditions for overcoming the dynamic conservatism of public administra tion and implementing irreversible changes. This managerial revolution has redefined the boundaries and re…

After 1992 : Can the Commission Manage Europe ? Optimism and enthusiasm, which breathed new life into the EC in the second half of the 1980s, related primarily to an inventive phase of policy making. The challenge of the nineties is to match this with an equally vigorous innovative process to ensure that policies are implemented. In this context, the Commission can contribute to increase the efficiency of European public management through networ…
The Impact of the Efficiency Strategy
The initial impact of the efficiency strategy owed much to the determined backing of the Prime Minister. A lasting change in public management, however, relies on a more fundamental Change in the culture of Whitehall, not only to give more attention to management, but to redefine the concept in terms appropriate to government. One of the obstacles to change is that the civil service operates with an impoverished concept of management which over‐e…
Corporatism or Industrial Democracy
This paper examines the political and organizational presuppositions of industrial policy-making. Empirical evidence about the structure of government-industry relations shows that fears of an authoritarian corporate state are unfounded, and that the institutional conditions described in neo-corporatist analyses of industrial policy-making do not exist, at the national level, or in most sectors of British industry. Organizations and interorganiza…
